M J's Safari Nursery Theme

by Kate

As you can see from M J's safari nursery theme pictures, our baby girl's room has a blend of tropical and wild animal print fabrics including the nursery window treatments(made by Momma) and a table lamp with a zebra print shade.

The curtain panels have a yellow and white giraffe pattern (from fabric.com) with a border of brown and white zebra print fabric and I embellished and decorated the lamp and shade to complement them.

I painted the wall in a two tone painting technique using two shades of yellow paint and then added a quote over the baby's bed that says, "Guardian angel pure and bright guard me while I sleep tonight".

I used the lighter shade of yellow paint for the solid color wall behind the baby's changing table and hung three prints that I felt was in keeping with the rest of the jungle nursery theme that I had in mind for M J's nursery plus the zebra print reflected the tan and brown zebra fabric (that I bought from my local Joann) that I used on the border of her nursery curtains.

From the webmaster:

Thanks for allowing us to feature pictures of M J's safari nursery theme with us, Kate! I love the way that you blended the wild animal prints so beautifully! This is an excellent example how to decorate a baby girl nursery with just the right touch of jungle decor so that you have the look without being overrun with wild animals!

I would love to hear more about the nursery wall painting technique including any instructions for how to paint the diamond shapes on the wall or paint colors that you could provide for the moms who will (without a doubt!) want to duplicate your baby nursery ideas.
